If you’re looking for a 15 minute meal, this baked teriyaki salmon with asparagus is packed with flavor thanks to the gluten-free tamari glaze. Like most sheet pan dinners, this one is quick and easy – one of my family’s go-to weeknight dinners served over rice. I really thought that having a baby would not change who I am in the kitchen. Hubris or delusion, I’m not sure which (or maybe denial since I was still in the edit stage of my latest cookbook when she was born!). But that’s all to say that the majority of my meals now involve a sheet pan, less than 5 ingredients, and are so simple I’v ..read more

This clams and chorizo recipe is a quick, complete weeknight meal thanks to the addition of potatoes and kale. It all comes together in one pot and is packed with smoky Spanish flavors thanks to the chorizo and white wine. Perfect for sopping up with crusty bread (or more potatoes!).

My goal has been to highlight varieties outside the typical salmon-tuna-shrimp trio that we are so reliant on in America. Whenever I’m looking for inspiration in the seafo ..read more

These gluten-free dairy-free cupcakes are low sugar (sweetened with banana and raspberries!) but taste like a PB&J and are perfect for celebrating a first birthday for your little ones. They are more muffin in some ways than cupcake, but taste light, fluffy and moist with dairy-free peanut butter buttercream frosting. They are also low FODMAP! Perhaps it’s my background writing cookbooks for people with gut issues, but I consider myself stereotypically “that mom” when it comes to feeding my toddler sugar. Before she was one, I avoided it at all costs. And when it came time to celebrate he ..read more

This mild and flaky baked bluefish recipes turns a sometimes off-putting fish into a subtle, flavorful main course everyone will be dying for seconds of! Topped with Dijon mustard and mayo before baking under the broiler, the bluefish is then doused in crunchy thyme and garlic flecked breadcrumbs. It’s a recipe my family has been making for decades on Martha’s Vineyard in summertime! There’s an on-going shtick in my family around my dad’s hatred of bluefish. Every summer, when I make my pilgrimage to Martha’s Vineyard, my mom asks me what I want for dinner on my first night back. “How about b ..read more

But the reality is that I just love ..read more

This is the best quick all-purpose marinade for pork tenderloin with an Italian flare. The base uses sweet and tangy balsamic vinegar, grainy mustard, fresh garlic, and sticky honey. It’s a great gluten-free option all barbecue season for grilling and in the colder months for roasting or baking a boneless pork loin!

But recently I’ve been getting more and more requests for weeknight pork recipes, so I wanted to share my personal go-to when it comes to a balsamic marinade for pork ..read more

Endlessly variable, this is a perfect formula for a weeknight meal using chicken thighs – it’s a mainstay on our rotation! There are a few pantry items than I come back to again and again as dinner shortcuts. Anything from the antipasti bar at the supermarket—olives, capers, roasted peppers etc.—tend to have enough brine and herbs to flavor a whole dish without any extra chopping. And the same goes for the Korean fermented cabbage, kimchi. Many y ..read more

This roasted carrot hummus is vibrant, flavorful and creamy thanks to turmeric, fresh lemon juice, and a reduced quantity of chickpeas that makes it a ridiculously convenient and delicious low FODMAP snack. The pantry staple recipe is a fan favorite from my bestselling SIBO cookbook! Having worked as a private chef for over a decade, I can anecdotally say that hummus is one of the favorite snacks of families trying to get more vegetables on the table. I’ve made dozens of varieties for clients, but one of the hurdles that those following a low FODMAP diet face is the quantity of chickpeas ..read more

It’s a vegetarian pasta salad that is a fan favorite from my cookbook and a regular dish on my weeknight rotation!

For various reasons, often some of my favorite recipes don’t make the cut in my books. This cod fish stew was a no-photo winner from my SIBO book! And such was the case with CARBIVORE ..read more

This easy roasted broccoli side dish is punched up with a tangy and herby caper pesto and makes for a beautiful presentation on your holiday table or for a weeknight dinner. It’s bulked up with some roasted cabbage to allow for a larger low FODMAP portion, but it’s truly the best side dish for any dairy-free, gluten-free meal! I don’t serve up vegetable side dish recipes on this site as often as I should, partially because I can get a little lazy when it comes to my own table. Usually, I’ll just keep things simple and roast one vegetable or another in the oven and call it a day. But every onc ..read more
